How do I make separate GBA ROM of the Gameboy games I want to emulate? Every time I try, it always compiles all the games I previously added in the emulator with the game I want to emulate separately. My second question is, is it possible to change the color palettes when emulating? Usually, when playing a Gameboy game on the GBA, you can change the color palettes by pressing a combination of buttons on the startup screen, (such as left+B gives you the black and white color palette, etc.) but I can't seem to do that with the Goomba Emulator. I don't like the color palette the GBA automatically displays the Gameboy games and want to change them to black and white.

What hardware? Goomba is an emulator so does not have the hardware buttons like a real gb card running on a gba L+R then use that menu to change color pallet

For the pallets, you can use RGBFIX to pre-set pallets in non-color games. It will also fix any header issues you may have. But you'll only want to use this for single games compiled to .gba, because the list of games will have the wrong names due to how RGBFIX works to set the pallets. For example, batch-patching a folder of games to use the black and white pallet will cause all the games to be named "X" in the game list. And if you change those names, the pallet won't work any more.

Here's the instructions on how to use it HERE.

Do you know how I can make separate ROMs?
just load the one rom into the goomba frontend
then save the configuration as gom file
you can open that in a text editor
make one for each rom

also:
i tested this
copy /b goomba.gba + rom.gbc rom.gba
that worked for that one gbc rom i tested it with

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless

    the booty boogie from (once again) the donkey kong country cartoon could also be a good song to sing while playing sea of thieves
